Highly beneficial. Cindy Mendiola, At-Risk Coordinator, Laredo ISD, says that RaaWee
has reduced the time needed to review reports and increased time available to address attendance needs. It’s “flexible, ensures compliance with state policies, and …allows for a clear and well-structured process…”

“Prior to RaaWee, our team of 28 Attendance Officers were completing an average of 35,000 interventions per school year,” says Cindy Mendiola, At-Risk Coordinator, at Laredo ISD in Texas. “Following the implementation of the system, our team completed a total of 95,924 interventions during its first full year of use. That is almost three times the amount of interventions of any of the prior years,” she says.

“RaaWee has assisted us to raise awareness on and improve attendance. In addition, it has opened up more time and understanding for discussing and addressing concerns impacting student daily attendance. The district and campuses have benefited from increased engagement and understanding from our parents—and raised accountability on our students. Staff members have been better able to increase their intervention efforts and maintain organized documentation, which allows [them] to quickly access and be concurrent with what is happening with each student,” she reports.

“Access to viewing financial impact creates greater understanding and urgency among campus administrators, and allows our district administration to work toward identified risk factors,” she adds.

How does RaaWee K12 Solutions offer personalized support to attendance staff?

“RaaWee has been an incredible support to our Attendance staff.” Mendiola says that RaaWee “serves almost like a personal assistant to help their efforts to quickly identify students that are at risk and address their attendance in a much quicker time. RaaWee has reduced the time needed to review reports and has increased their time available to address attendance needs. RaaWee is flexible to build a system that is best-suited to the needs of the district, and aligns its processes to ensure compliance with state policies as well. This allows for a clear and well-structured process aimed at its priority — which is the success of our students.”

How does RaaWee K12 Solutions deliver unparalleled customer service and support?

On top of that great gain, RaaWee team members beginning with Saleem, Sohail, Janie—and all others involved— provide an impressively caring and attentive service. They’ve not only been a great team or company to collaborate with, but their attention shows their own investment in our success! Unparalleled program and service!”
